Ingredients
- 4 ripe pears
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons crushed walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare it for indirect grilling.
Step 2
Wash the pears thoroughly, then slice them lengthwise in half. Use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out the cores.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the honey, olive oil, and lemon juice until well combined.
Step 4
Brush each pear half generously with the honey and olive oil mix, ensuring the cut sides are well coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle ground cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt over the pear halves.
Step 6
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Arrange the pear halves on the grill, cut-side down.
Step 7
Grill the pears for 5-7 minutes, until grill marks form and the pears begin to soften. The timing may vary depending on the ripeness of the pears.
Step 8
Flip the pears and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes, until they're tender but still holding their shape.
Step 9
Remove the pears from the grill and let them cool slightly. Drizzle with additional honey if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally garnished with crushed walnuts for added texture.
